The latest innovation to bring excitement to the display areas around most all the NASCAR race tracks are the new Racing Simulators use by many corporate displays currently touring the Nextel Cup Circuit. The Motorsports Image (www.motorsportsimage.com Racing Simulator line of products has proven to be a winner everywhere race fans are. Many team owners, marketing executives and motorsports sponsors are heralding these racing Simulators as the newest and most effective way to entertain and market to racefans in several decades. The Motorsports Image Simulators consist of several types of products all of which can be custom designed to meet the customers requirements. Probably the most creative is the award winning Sim Showcar which is a showcar that has the real drivers seat inside that actually moves with the video game. A wide screen monitor is placed inside the front windshield and the race fan driver hops inside and uses the actual steering wheel, gas and brake pedals that the real drivers use. The seat has a motion base system installed underneath and that enables the driver to feel all the action out on the track as they drive the racing game. The bumps, the bank of the track, the vibration of racing all can be felt in this innovative new Simulator product. The most amazing thing about this product is several of the Sim Showcars actual run and have made parade laps around race tracks. The MSI (Motorsports Image) Sim Showcar recently achieved award winning status at the last International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (I.A.A.P.A.). The other two creative products now touring the tracks are the MSI racing Seat Sim and the MSI ¾ Scale Sim racecar.
The MSI Seat Sims consist of a roll cage equipped with real racing seats, big bazooka sounds and all the movement of the real race car inside the game. This Sim product simply rolls into place on its on base and is ready to race almost anywhere in a matter of minutes. Many other companies have used the Sims at their trade shows such as Motorola, Coca Cola, and many more companies representing corporate America and their products. All of the MSI Racing Simulators use common 110 Volt current and can be set up and running anywhere.
